Editorial Review:
The new edition of this popular guide provides students with a solid review of surgery for the USMLE Step 2 and residency training exams. The Fourth Edition includes over 1,000 exam-type questions and answers, a paragraph-length explanation of each answer, and a 100-question practice test for self-assessment.

Rating:  - Fair Warning
5th edition and still riddled with errors -- grammatical, factual and editorial. I spent more time second-guessing the explanation for the 'correct' answer than I did gaining any preparation for the shelf. Plus, the material and question structure covered in this book are not representative of the shelf exam. This one hit the recycling bin a while ago.
Rating: - Not a good resource during M3 clerkship.
I can't say how these questions might compare to the surgery shelf exam, because I haven't taken it yet. I can definitely say that this book isn't good preparation, because the explanations don't make any sense. The first chapter is Trauma.

Book is full of many, many errors. Not worth your time. I didn't like Pre-test, either, as it seemed too detailed. Surgical Recall is GREAT but it contains no questions. Case Files is also useful. I have yet to find a useful surgery question book.
Rating: - Try Pretest instead
The purpose of doing questions, in my opinion, is to get better at doing questions like those on the shelfs!

This book is not good at training you to answer questions correctly because the questions were way too difficult. By difficult I mean that you couldn't use your brain to figure out the answer with the knowledge you've ... Read More
Rating:  - Helpful Prep Book
I found this book very helpful for the Surgery shelf exam. I used this book and Surgery Recall (a must in most surgery clerkships) and felt well prepared for the shelf. I scored well above the national mean and the class mean. The only other factor was that our clerkship had a strong didatics aspect and that we were taught very well during lectures.
